Re: Battery light continuously on

Most likely the alternator isnt charging the battery. Have a check of the battery with a Voltmeter to make sure it has power.

The reading should be around 12v without ignition started and around 13v with ignition on.

Re: Restoration project - Rear axle treatment?

Powder coating is probs the best option, it is more durable than paint. But make sure to either get it blasted of wire brushed really smooth. The smoother the better :D
